  Dr. Matthew Shany, DVM, Practice Owner 
   Matt has always wanted to work with animals and dreamed of  becoming a veterinarian since he was a child.  He started his journey at Chinguacousy Animal Farm in Brampton.  He was  then accepted into Ontario Veterinary College in 1995, and graduated in 1999.
   He went on to practice mixed animal medicine up north in Markdale and Midland area for 2 years, but his heart truly belonged to companion animals, beloved dogs and cats.  Matt went on to work in Mississauga at a small animal practice, being in love with Guelph area where he went to school he moved his career into Kitchener/Waterloo.
   Dr. Shany has a really keen interest in surgery and dentistry.  Clients love the way he handles their pets and makes them feel really comfortable.  He does have a very special spot for cats we call him the Cat Whisper.  Currently he has 2 Devon Rex's "Kevin" and "Neville"  known as "Kevin the Devon" and "Neville the Devil".  We also have our beloved  French Bulldog "Beau" who is full of personality and is known for his Bulldog dancing.  Matt see's lots of French Bulldogs and is also know as the "Frenchie Whisper"

​Dr. Andrea Scholz grew up outside of the GTA in a home right next to a large conservation area. Even as a child she was very interested in animals and could always be found asking to pet someone's dog or cat! 

She has been a regular locum at Westmount Animal Hospital since 2023. She graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph in 2013, but has been living and working in the KW & Guelph area since 2006.  "Dr. Andrea" has a special interest in feline medicine and in helping fearful patients access great medical care. She completed her feline friendly veterinarian certification in early 2025. 

When not at the clinic, she can usually be found driving her kids around town, hiking with her Black Labrador, Keeper, or snuggling up with a good book and her Bengal Cat, Tigrrr.
